Revalidate a Multi Pilot Helicopter Type Rating

Description

Holding a type rating allows you to act as pilot on the type of helicopter specified in the rating.

To apply for this type rating you must hold a PPL(H), CPL(H) or ATPL(H) licence and have completed the relevant training and testing as defined in CAP804. Section 4 Part H subpart 2. and a current Helicopter Type rating.

Please note - If you are the holder of an existing UK issued JAR Flight Crew licence or UK PPL(H), CPL(H) or ATPL(HG) which has not already been converted to a Part-FCL licence, then this licensing action will result in the compulsory conversion of your existing licence to a Part-FCL licence.

This will require an additional application form / information which will have to be submitted, and additional requirements may have to be met. As such, please refer to the conversion information available on our website in addition to the information on this page.
